What R you DRINKING today?

[Boyd]

robie;166772]That's interesting, since this forum is for those (many) of us who enjoy making and drinking wine.

If you are so anti-wine, why are you on this forum? Just bored?

If this is in answer to my last post, I am not anti-alcohol related beverages.[/COLOR]

I just don't drink much of it cause alcohol doesn't like my body very much. Uncle Sugar sent me to Japan when I was 17 and I tried to learn to drink like the big boys and it didn't work very well. Pretty much gave up trying before I turned 18, 3 months later. I didn't like to talk to Ralfphhhh on the big white telephone very much.

A stray beer (Grolish) every 3 or 4 months works for me.

Anyway I get a large charge from making wine, mostly from wild berries.

People I give it to seem to think it is good wine, some say excellent.

I make about 125 gallons a year. Other than to taste it I don't drink the stuff.

LOL, Boyd this post was not about your post. There was a spammer posting on here earlier that made some derogatory remarks. I deleted his post and he was banned. Sorry for the confusion.

and 4 or 5 pints of EDME lager

Sipping on a 2008 Amarone curtesy of Wade (not sure who was the kit maker). Its been one of those weeks at work etc.

In short very, very pleased. The wine is well integrated. Tannins are now soft and subdued. Nice notes of cigar box. Hints of smoke, tar, licorice and incense linger on a tightly wound finish.....

Well done!

Opened up a Cheeky Monkey shiraz that i bottled in April. It has smoothed out a great deal since I bottled it. Very enjoyable now.

That sounds interesting, Julie. Was this from fresh juice or concentrate?

What did I drink today, dang I can't remember. By 11:00am I tested and tasted over 25 tanks. Then I came home tonight and and played/tasted Red Plum, seyval and Marquis. The Marquis has a very interesting taste.
